How Come Women's Urinals Haven't Caught On?

Lisa Wade, PhD — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:15:00 EST

I am convinced that women could pee standing up, with the same accuracy as a man (which means, what, 90% accuracy?), if they practiced as often as men do. More »

Kids May Wet the Bed Because They Can't Poop

Cassie Murdoch — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:30:00 EST

Ahh, peeing in bed. Many of us have unpleasant memories of doing it as children, and no doubt many of you have been woken to change the sheets after one of your children let loose his or her bladder while deep asleep. There are plenty of reasons why kids wet the bed, but now scientists have discovered that there's something which could be causing a lot of this night-leaking that never occurred to anyone before: constipation. As odd as it sounds, the study, which was published in the journal Urology, found it played a big role: More »

New Sega Games Use Men's Dicks as Controllers

Madeleine Davies — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:00:00 EST

You know what's boring? Peeing standing up! We ladies wouldn't know this, but it's the worst— nothing to do but stare at the wall in front of you for the 10-30 seconds that it takes to urinate. Luckily, Sega has developed a solution for this pervasive problem and that solution, no duh, is video games for urinals. These games, which cost a mere two grand, use the accuracy of a man's pee stream for all sorts of fun stuff like shooting virtual "snot" at an opponent and controlling the amount that a woman's skirt flies up. It's number one in fun! More »

Someone Is Peeing in British Judges' Food

Anna North — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:25:00 EST

Somebody at the Snaresbrook crown court must be a shitty tipper, because the food in the cafeteria has allegedly been contaminated with urine. Traces of it were apparently found in soup, salad, and even sandwiches, which customers had complained "smelled a bit off." Since only legal officers eat in the cafeteria, the errant pee-er probably has a vendetta against a judge or lawyer. Police are investigating; thankfully, the cafeteria is now closed. More »

Let's Talk About Sex

Maria — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:40:00 EST

Last week we noted that Japanese zookeepers at the Kushiro city zoo had trouble getting two polar bears to mate because they discovered that one of the female bears had been misidentified as a male. Why is it so hard to classify the gender of a polar bear? In short, because polar bears are very furry, especially "down there". However, one way to tell the gender of a polar bear is to see how it pees: if the urine looks like it is coming out of the belly, it is male; from the tail, it is female. However, most bears squat to pee, so even the pee test isn't a reliable way to classify the cuties. [Slate] More »

Mad Men: Urine Trouble!

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:00:00 EDT

Mad Men: Urine Trouble!" alt="Click here to read Mad Men: Urine Trouble!" src="http://cache.jezebel.com/assets/images/39/2008/09/madmen92908_jez_512K.flv.jpg"/>

One of the best things about Mad Men is that it's an accurate portrayal of how depressing life in the early '60s could be, rather than the revisionist history that ad agencies like Sterling-Cooper help put in the history books. The roles assigned to people — whether gender or class — were so defined and constricting, that people easily felt suffocated in their lives. One of the few socially acceptable outlets of escapism was alcohol, but that line of acceptability was thin and easily crossed. It was obvious in last night's episode that Betty Draper and Freddy Rumsen were both drinking just to get through the day to day misery of their lives. While Betty was playing out drunken depression in the privacy of her own home, Freddy was doing so in the office, and got caught, not with his pants down, but with his pants wet. Clip above. More »

Even Oprah Employees Aren't Immune To Serial Seat-Pissers

mcarpentier — Mon, 12 May 2008 13:00:00 EDT

All is not well in the land of Oprah. As O: The Oprah Magazine editor Lisa Kogan explains, female staffers at the namesake magazine of the daytime doyenne have a habit of pissing on the toilet seats, and one, in particular, is to urine-spraying what Jackson Pollock was to abstract expressionism. Nicknamed "The Tinkler", this indiscriminate urinator has, Kogan says, "turned me from a happy-go-lucky columnist into a bitter, paranoid germaphobe." But it's not just Kogan: Every woman working in an office has encountered a Tinkler, and there seems to be no way to stop her. More »

The Feminal is a traveling urinal for women, designed to be used in a reclined, seated or standing position. It differs from the Magic Cone and the Shenis in that the leak-proof seal makes it so you don't even have to stop driving if you gotta go real bad. [Comfort House] More »

Sampling The Shenis, Or How Women Can Pee On Two Feet

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:00:00 EDT

The Shenis (yes, sounds like "penis"!) is a hollowed out, 12-inch long fake penis intended for women to use as a tool to pee while standing up. As its creator Kiki Curry states in the video clip above, it's great for hiking, boating, peeing outdoors, and intimidating men! And while we don't like doing physical activities in nature, we'd love to try this out while drunk on the streets of New York. P.S. Kiki Curry is our new fave kook. More »

Why Men Pee In The Shower — The IM Investigation

Jennifer — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 13:31:16 EDT

When (well, if) America chooses a woman president next November, few traditionally male experiences will be unfamiliar to the fairer sex. We fight wars. We ejaculate. We even, on occasion, send emails regarding our emotional unavailability after a night of passion that involved a little too much cuddling. But no girl we have ever known pisses in the shower. Welcome to our very first installment of 'Inside the Minds Of Men,' wherein we send our youngest and, uh, fairest Jezebel editor, Jen, who doesn't so much as brush her teeth in the shower, to investigate the few remaining mysteries of manhood. She'll go to strip clubs and listen to Stern and hang out at the New York Stock Exchange and do all sorts of other crap that dudes do to retain their senses of whatever the fuck "manhood" is these days.
